Thread: New government will rewrite Arms Act

I still want to have a modern AR platform, M1, M14....

……..and to try and “Right” all the “Wrongs’ in 3 years???!!!

The optimist in me says they’ll have a bloody good grack at it

The pessimist in me says..there are too many COOKS in the kitchen!!!

A coalition of these 3 individuals with “known” ambitions,after watching the debates and knowing “turncoat”WINNIE is in the mix……..Ill take a deep breath and hope they can all play together in the same sand pit!!!

Is this a record on here for the longest lasting political thread?

Someone will take it to far or off track you watch

Well i hope it gets locked and not binned. Quite a good civil discussion going on..

Self moderate it and keep it civil

The best thing we can do is to recruit more shooters and hunters into the sport,let's not let this chance go by.

Act was shrewd enough to capitalise on the shooters vote just as we were being thrown under the bus,Nicole ticks all the boxes we need and can deflect alot of the " wokesters and Mummies" usual rhetoric by virtue of who she is.

Imagine 500,000 shooters by the next election, its a big goal but its not impossible.

Absolutely spot on. Ministry (to promote) Hunting and Fishing is a hopeful start.

Buried within the UN Agenda 2030 SDGs (Sustainably Development Goals) there are oblique references to 85% of small arms being in civilian hands, and when you dig into the educational resources being provided by the UN for our children, disarming civilian populations makes an appearance as critical to "safety". Read into that what you will.

I am pleased to see the Ministry of Hunting and Fishing established. It does not matter how many hunters we have in NZ if they don't have a voice it matters little. Many hunters move toward target shooting as they get older, something to be encouraged. It is bums on seats in the shooting and hunting related clubs that gives us a voice. Individuals just don't get heard in the din.

I basically agree @grandpamac but fear the influence of Fudds may be to the detriment of other firearm owners.

Greetings @Finnwolf,
I understand that but as a card carrying Fudd myself I need to point out that it is often the card carrying Fudds that are keeping range shooting alive and hence the availability of ranges in general. Many of these chaps, and it is mostly chaps, are in declining health and could do with a bit of help.
Regards Grandpamac.

What's a Fudd in a NZ context? I had to look the term up up, and it seems to have US/2nd Amendment connotations. Is a Fudd someone who willingly gave up their semi-autos, as opposed to those who gave them up grudgingly?

problem is we all have to stick together.....

wouldnt call it a problem.

Just get rid of the grumpy negative fools that try to poison the sport for their short term personal gains/grievances. Or make it clear to them that they are not welcome within the sport.
